Bioaugmentation – the addition of specific microorganisms to microbial consortia obtain functions - is a promising method improve performance sub-optimal anaerobic digestion processes and recover methane production. The present study implements for first time model with bioaugmentation functionalities, enabling dynamic microbiological augmented systems. based on previous advanced mathematical f...

Anaerobic digestion technology can play a significant role in the transition to low-carbon and circular economy by producing bioenergy (biomethane) organic fertilizer (digestate). This study proposes valorization approach for three waste streams widely produced Mediterranean area: fish (FW), pig slurry (PS), orange pomace (OP). The FW lipid content enhance biomethane yield as long inhibition lo...

Abstract The feedstock seasonality has been poorly studied in the anaerobic digestion process. could disturb process stability, mainly for fruit and vegetable waste. In this study, three seasonal waste mixtures generated wholesale markets were reduced to 10, 6, 4 mm assess influence of particle size reduction on biodegradability. methane yield ranged between 298 465 mL CH g VS −1 (volatile soli...

Municipal sewage is the main exposure route for antibiotics that are used in human medical care. Antibiotics that adsorb to the primary sludge and/or sur-plus activated sludge will enter the anaerobic digesters of municipal sewage treatment plants. Here anaerobic biodegradation or inhibition of anaerobic bacteria resulting in a disturbance of the process might occur. ISO standards 13641 (2003) ...
